Who doesn't know Cristiano Ronaldo's adopted son, Martunis. The young man from Aceh garnered a lot of attention when the tsunami hit Serambi Mekkah in 2004.
At that time, 8-year-old Martunis was found wearing the jersey of Rui Costa, the Portuguese national team legend, in the midst of a disaster that destroyed his family. It immediately attracted Ronaldo's sympathy.
The Al Nassr bomber was also willing to take the time to come to Indonesia, in order to provide direct assistance to Martunis and adopt him as a child. Various facilities and education were given to Martunis to support his life.
But as time went by, Martunis actually chose not to pursue professional football. In his uploads on social media, Martunis lives his life away from the spotlight of the sports world .
